VERSE 1 I came from a Houston kitchen table with a dream — a notebook full of bars and a grind — no scheme — nobody handed me — no cosign — no backing — just Quality Girl and the work — no slacking. Every door that closed — I catalogued the lesson — every n*gga who doubted taught me the profession — of believing in yourself when the room disagree — never settling — that's the Houston in me. Borrowing sessions — writing bars in parking lots — no budget — no plan B — connecting all the dots — alone — in the dark — before the streams and the shows — never settling — b*tch that's how this story goes.
PRE-CHORUS Every level I reach — I see the next one — every door I open — there's another one — never settling. That finish line ain't mine.
CHORUS Never settling — not for almost — not for close — never settling — b*tch I want the most — complete version — full expression — everything — never settling — success ain't the end of the ring — it's another starting point — another door — never settling. Houston. Since birth.
VERSE 2 I outgrew situations that felt like home — outgrew the rooms — the n*ggas — the comfort zone — that looked like safety but was really a ceiling — never settling — I know that feeling. The relationship that asked me to be less — I loved that n*gga — won't suppress the truth — but love without ambition matching ain't the use — of either person — I had to choose — never settling — walked away — protected my peace — the version of me that accepted less found release — in knowing my worth and refusing to forget it — never settling. I said it. I meant it.
PRE-CHORUS Every level I reach — I see the next one — every door I open — there's another one — never settling. That finish line ain't mine.
CHORUS Never settling — not for almost — not for close — never settling — b*tch I want the most — complete version — full expression — everything — never settling — success ain't the end of the ring — it's another starting point — another door — never settling. Houston. Since birth.
Piano solo — el momento más íntimo del single. For every girl in H-Town watching me right now — who's sitting somewhere with a dream — wondering how — anybody makes it out — I want you to know — the ceiling you see is not the ceiling — let go. Never settling — that wisdom cost me everything — take it. It's yours. For free.
VERSE 3 The debut album coming — and I need you to know — every bar on it was built from every no — every passed deal — every door that shut — every session I was in when the world gave up. The generational wealth ain't just the bag — it's the blueprint — the proof — the whole drag — from nothing to something — on record — on code — never settling. Houston. That's the mode.
La versión más poderosa — strings y 808 al máximo. Never settling — not for almost — not for close — never settling — b*tch I want the most — complete version — full expression — everything — never settling — success ain't the end of the ring — it's another starting point — another door — never settling — Houston — since birth — never settling. The album is coming. Forever.
Piano solo desvaneciéndose a silencio. I don't know exactly where this goes. But I know it goes further than they said. Never settling. Houston. The album is coming. Period.
